Soulmate AU. Vox arrives in Hell with his soulmark still intact and unfulfilled -but what kind of person finds their soulmate in Hell? A trash husbands soulmate AU. Pure unadulterated 'what if', spiced with Vox being a hopeless romantic. Vox POV, semi character study levels of introspection.

So I wrote this in like 2 hours of hyperfocus based on a random idea I had + folks egging me on in the VoxVal HQ Discord server. Vox and Val are both absolute bastards but I admit I am a sucker for the dynamic of "they're absolutely terrible people but their relationship is kinda sweet actually", and for some reason that flavor is what my brain really is craving right now. Plus soulmate AUs are a guilty pleasure of mine.

All I'm saying is that Bruce Robertson has a gun and has committed hate crimes before, Brandon has no chance.

“I’m Peter. I’m here to help.” How is he going to help JJ? How is Peter still alive? (unless this was before he met Anna)

HELLO ANON! 

Thank you for showing interest in my little Sneed/Peter babblings. In all honesty, I hadn’t thought much further into where it was going. I usually don’t with my drabbles— well, actually, I guess they’re ficlets as they usually end up over 100 words, but I thought why the hell not and decided to dive on into the backstory and beyond of whatever was/is/will be going on in that little universe anyway, but beware. It’s a mess under that cut, Anon. Proceed with caution. 

So, the first thing I have to cover is that this is, I guess, canon divergence on two fronts... maybe even three... damn... okay, no, starting again. I took the canon portal mechanics of OUAT, canon ending of WSR and implied canon demise of JJ Sneed into my basement and shot them so I could write... whatever this thing is. uh, yeah... moving on! 

Peter doesn’t die from Anna’s wound and but he does bleed out quite heavily so, in his delirium, when the portal appears in front of him, he thinks it’s an act of God, some kind of divine intervention, escorting him to heaven and he struggles through it, barely grasping to life...

...and ends up in the United Realms, greeted by a man with his face. He’s mended with a mix of medicine and magic (or miracle) and Peter is convinced he’s in heaven at this point. There are no threats to him here, only people happy to help him back on his feet. There’s no risk of beserkers, no signs of the virus, just peace. 

All this peace, all the pleasantries he’s shown by the people here, has him reflecting on the choices he made while he lived his life, the choices he had to make to survive, all the decisions he justified, and yet... none of his flock are here by his side, despite the demise of the commune not long before his altercation with Anna. No one knows of them and he’s tried searching. 

He starts to see the cracks in the United Realms, the evidence of wars once fought and evil just beneath the surface. It steel’s his resolve further. He isn’t in heaven. This is just another place, another populace, that needs to be saved. 

So you might be wondering, how does this get him to saving JJ Sneed from Deke Fletcher and his gang? 

I’m glad you asked, Anon! 

Peter, with his heart set on starting anew, steps through the first portal he comes across. Armed with his rifle, replenished survival supplies (including a treasured magic bean that his likeness had tucked into his hand with a whisper of “In case you change your mind, mate.”) and a prayer, he steps from the United Realms and into...

...the end of JJ Sneed. Well, what would have been his end. Should have been his end, really. He’s slung over the back of a horse while it’s rider looks on, sat proud while his friends follow along beside on their own ponies. Peter recognises his own face on the prisoner in an instant only he’s slimmer in the face, with more neatly groomed facial hair and bloodstained clothes. 

It barely takes any effort at all for Peter to take them all down, leaving the prisoner until last. 

[insert that drabble/ficlet/whatever here]

The prisoner, Sneed, doesn’t trust him. There’s a darkness to him that Peter sees in himself and a fight that he hasn’t seen in a long time. He truly wants to help him, wants to help them both. Seeing the anger he feels, the hurt and betrayal so clearly on his own face, has him reaching for his back pocket before he even realises he’s doing it. Peter doesn’t have the medical capacity to heal his knees, which are impossibly beyond repair, but he knows someone who does. 

He throws Killian’s bean to the ground, as instructed, and thinks of the ‘united’ broken land his likeness calls home. 

JJ gets fixed up, still distrusting of everyone despite the lack of ill will they hold towards him, everyone except Peter, and Peter, well... he embraces the first member of his new flock.
